North Face Masters - won by Aaron Robinson

In the men’s division Aaron Robinson of Whitefish, Mont., took the podium and also the sword made for each winner of the men’s and women’s divisions along with the overall TNF Masters 2010 tour title.

“I absolutely love the North Face Masters with its judges and crew. I wanted to make sure I rode into the powder so I pointed it and the landing was nice,” Robinson said.

Kirkwood’s own Joe Forest took second place by following winner Robinson’s line into the Hidden Chute area of the Cirque with mandatory 35-foot cliff drops. Ralph Backstrom of Squaw Valley, Calif., finished in third place with a strong and powerful run.

In the women's competition Shannan Yates of Snowbird, Utah impressed the judges with several cliff drops winning the run. Her super finals run was merely for show as she had already clinched the title with her first run, which also earned her enough points to take the overall 2010 TNF Masters tour title.

“I had a great season with the North Face Masters and visited new places, met new people and became a better athlete,” Yates said following victory. Alex Yoder, 20, from Jackson Hole, Wyo., earned The North Face Young Gun Award for his remarkable performance throughout the Tour.
